Just what is a "Mexican"???

So I guess when you were in Townsville you couldn't understand why all the Banana Benders went on about State of Origin Matches. And interstate cricket matches would have to be stopped because they are definately a parochial state thing. I have some very good friends interstate (all very proud Australians) and we all seem to enjoy with a smile the parochial nature of the states......

Jimbo, if thats all you get called your doing pretty well in life.:o))
Bob.

Jim the Taswegians when they find out you are from the big island check your hands to see how many fingers you have. Speaking of 6 fingers some west coasters in tassie look like their parents may have been related
Cheers Pete

It's a term used by wankers to describe someone from Victoria, anything else you want to know Jim.

Instead of enraging the forum population Mr. J you should be keeping watch out of the closest north facing window of your house, for the dreaded red glow on the horizon that gets brighter by the second.

Jimbo perhaps we could just abolish all states and have one timezone for all of Aust - wouldnt that be good - forget daylight saving !!!

Here in God's Country (WA) we just call everyone 'Eastern Staters' and treat you with the contempt that you all deserve. :-) :-)

Karl

We Vic's call anyone north "Canadians"

Have to agree with you Jimbo, in you own words "I've never got the State's parochial thing. I'm an Australian, where I live in this fine land is immaterial."

Been reading all the comments with a smile on my face.
Now my hubby and I were both born and schooled in Melbourne (Vic). In the last 32 years we have lived in Leeton (NSW), Sydney (NSW), Adelaide (SA), Geraldton (WA), Coolum Beach (QLD), Deception Bay (Qld), and Melbourne (Vic). Our daughter was conceived in WA and born in Vic.... even had a grandson born in Nambour (Qld) but he was conceived in Vic. .......Now we are all back in Vic, for how long who knows.
We have been lucky to have visited all states of this great country and lived in most. Have travelled extensively throughout them as well, both coastal and outback....
I've never been able to understand the ribbing some people give out to fellow Aussies from a different state.
I suppose it all started when the colonists/migrants were from England, Ireland, China, Italy, Greece, Malta, Germany, Vietnam, Sth Africa.....etc, etc. From all the lands we come. No matter where you come from we are all different, but deep down we are all the same........Aussies......... and if you don't regard yourself as an Aussie and you live here then you really haven't let go of the place where you started........ and personally who gives a S**T.
My opinion on this is if someone gets off on ribbing about where one comes from then they really need to get out and "ExploreOz" hahahahaha
HAGW.

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days.

Eventually, Michael the archangel found him on the seventh day resting. He enquired of God, "Where have you been?" God pointed downwards through the clouds. "Look Michael, look what I've made" said God. Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "Its a planet replied God", and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and its going to be a great place of balance." "Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing down to different parts of the Earth, "For example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people." God continued, pointing to the different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to another area of land and asked, "What's that?" "Ah," said God. "That's South Australia, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful people, impressive towns; it is the home of the world's finest artists, musicians, writers, thinkers, explorers and politicians. The people from South Australia are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as speakers of truth." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance God, you said there will be BALANCE!"

God replied very wisely," Wait till you see the idiots I'm putting next to them in Victoria"

I've lived in SA my whole life and not once have I ever heard anyone from another state referred to as "Mexican". During the 1980's when state of origin footy was at its peak we hated the Vics, now the AFL has changed that.

As for SA cricket the Redbacks, there isn't a rivalry with any other state. I'm just glad if we can win a game, we only seem to be able to beat Tassie. And we struggle to do that most of the time. It's a population thing, the Eastern states have 3 times the number of people to choose from, simple as that.

I think you have too much time on your hands Jimbo.

Barnesy

And the Tassies call those from the mainland North Islanders.

Willem, you haven't been there all your life------yet :>))

This is a Mexican.
